Working At Spurcycle
We’re a small organization of capable professionals, engaged in an industry we love—with tan lines to prove it. Our work space is orderly and calm but not too quiet, boring, and far from corporate. We are driven to an unusually high standard of execution. This means we take time to avoid the boomerang pitfalls of rushed solutions. As with any attempt to do things well, there is pressure to get it right but we embrace the challenge of problem solving and don’t just live for the weekends. Spurcycle is a lifestyle company in a lifestyle town. We know that bikes make things better. That’s reflected in our personal motivations, sense of community, design philosophy, and company expectations.
(We are carefully following COVID-19 safety protocols in our facility.)

About Spurcycle
Spurcycle is rooted in practicality and rewarding relationships. We’re the team behind a carefully executed collection of bicycle accessories that have become iconic favorites for many.
We’re at the center of a manufacturing network with extensive capabilities in machining, stamping, and forming. This is our collective “shop”, originally equipped with basic mill and lathe, grown over the years to include a hundred times more equipment and global expertise. Diverse fabrication options keep our design process open and let more ideas take shape.
Our goal is to deliver joy that lasts long after leaving the checkout counter and endures beyond passing fashionability, encouraging more trips by bike, and creating less worthless stuff.
